At the local office, the T1 is divided and one channel is connected to my telephone.
Dumbed down to layperson understanding (that's me), is this the general idea?

General idea is close... Yup.
There probably is NOT a dedicated T1 from the DC switcher to your serving office. Telco’s maintain inter-office T1 capacity (and higher of course) between exchanges/central-offices. Part of the process of building your FX (foreign exchange) circuit when you first ordered it, was picking the dedicated path over various channelized T1 facilities o get from A (your serving switch in DC) to your serving wire center.

I realize the OP was three months ago but I have some answers for the curious.

FIRST:
10/09/12 18:53 ET - NPC 699 GETTING FAIL/CGA, OOF, ES,CRC'S

I am not sure what equipment/device this print out would have come from but as stated above it means network port card 699 is alarming for failure, carrrier group alarm, out of frame alarm, errored seconds and cyclic redundancy check errors.

SECOND:
10/09/12 18:54 ET - M 18:02:02 01,00 3 UTL QRY STATE NPC 0699TYPEOOS FAIL PEST CGA OOF SLIP ER ES SES0 1 - R 008 000 CL 00020 000THRESHOLDS 255 004 3 6COMPL³DC103 IW 7F 04 LN MSG:COFA CRC6 BPV FRER--- 01518 00000 -----

This one looks like it came from a DACS or digital cross connect system. The language is PDS (don't remember what that stands for) and for one Tellabs 532/5320 equipment uses this language. When these messages are cut/pasted in to text files the spacing and line feed usually doesn't come with it. On the original screen or printout it probably looked something like this:

10/09/12 18:54 ET - M 18:02:02 01,00 3 UTL QRY STATE NPC 0699
TYPE OOS FAIL PEST CGA OOF SLIP ER ES SES 0
1 - R 008 000 CL 000 20 000
I am not sure all of the second line is on the proper place as some fields are skipped for some types of cards. Going from memory as I don't have my handy command reference here at home. Funny, I see these alarms every day and can't tell you the format without one in front of me. Carrier Group Alarm=Red (no frame form distant end), maybe 8 frame alarms (loss of frame time exceeded a threshold).

THRESHOLDS 255 004 3 6 COMPL
These are the thresholds for major or minor alarms that can be set for different ports. Usually left at the default. I recognize the first two as major/minor slip thresholds. I thing the next two are error rate thresholds (10-3, 10-6) but may be for OOF or LOF (frame hits)
³DC103 IW 7F 04 LN MSG:
COFA CRC6 BPV FRER
--- 01518 00000 -----

This one refers to a different T1. DC and NPC have become sort of interchangeable. I'm not even going to try to sort out the numbers on line two.

If inquiring minds want to know more, I will try to find time to look this up in the trusty command reference manual.

Captain Crunch and others, yup, you basically have it right. Any DS0 can be directed to any other DS0 in most systems through a DACS. There are as always exceptions. At some point, probably near to the Capn's home, the DS0 is converted to a telephone loop. Probably through a channel bank FXS card. Unless the Capn has some high dollar type "T1" or "DS0" phone.

The spacing didn't come out quite right on the post either.

Device-wise, I would guess that it came from a Tellabs product...possibly a 530 or Titan-532L DCS.

One of the commands used appears to be UTL::QRY, STATE, NPC 699 <RET>

The Titan-5500 uses TL-1 commands.

Right you are dexman. We just retired a 5500 and upgraded an on site 532 to 5320L. Still have five 532s at remote locations.

I was kind of surprised that the 5320L didn't use TL1.
